World traveler, entrepreneur, public school teacher, guest lecturer, and mother of a child with Bipolar Disorder and co-morbid Asperger’s Syndrome, Ellen Thomas is no ordinary author. A victim of providence, Ellen received her Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Special Education, twelve years prior to boarding the Bipolar Express. She has shared twenty-eight years with her best friend and husband, Jim. Together they have raised their sons Tony, who is married and working at the Florida State University, Luke, who works on a NASCAR race team, and their adopted daughter, Grace, who is the catalyst for this book.
